WTH THE APPROACH OF Christmas people
very naturally find themselves puzzled to
select presents for their friends and often
spend hours looking fruitlessly for what they
should get. For the information of those
intending to make Christmas gifts to male
friends, and who have no definite plans, but
are willing TO listen to suggestions the Shoo-
maker Company offers unusual, even ex-
traordinary inducements. Having one of
the largest, as II Is, beyond question, one of
the best selected stocks of wines, liquors and
cigars to be found in any store in the city
most of theiy foreign goods being purchased
for them abroad by their own agents---it is
needless to do more than hint at the fact
that orders by mail, by telephone mo. 5l7)
lin person for Christmas goods in their line
will be filled by the Shoemaker Company so
as TO give entire satisfaction. So much for
quality and now about price. During the
holiday season the Shoemaker Company
makes the following liberal offer: They will
sell lots of one-quartcr Of Il case of goods at
one-quartcr Of the case price, thus retailing
at wholesale prices. Persons desiring one

EFFORTS TO SAVE LIFE.
Eight Persons Rescued by Life Saw
ers After Many Attempts.

PORT AUSTIN, Mich, Nov. 15.-The
schooner A. Boody ran ON a ragged reef near
here on Saturday, and the heavy seas began
to sweep over her. There were no tugs to
60 to her rescue, and messengers were sent
to summon the life-saving crews at Point
Au Barques and Grindstone City. The
Grindstone City crew were the first to re-
spond. A mortar was planted on the beach
parted within few feet of the gun. This
was repeated several times with no better
success. The sea was so wild and danger
GUS that the surf boat could not be launched.
Captain Gill and his crew then started to the
station for the lifeboat, which weighs three
tons. Before their return Captain Ferris
and his crew of life savers arrived from
Point Au Barques.
The sea was wild tumult of waves and
foam. They pushed the lifeboat into the
surf, and all struggled manfully. but against
but the lake current, which carried them, in
spite of all efforts, far beyond the reach of
the schooner, until in breaker that stood
the boat almost on end, the steering oar was
wrenched from the Captains hand. Seeing
the hopelessness of their task, they came
ashore, but their boat ON wheels again, and
taking her up the shore about mile boldly
took their seats, and were quickly out of
sight in a second attempt amid foam and
spray. Night had fallen. After three an
xious hours to friends on the shore. the
brave fellows were again driven past the
wreck and came ashore utterly exhausted.
No further effort was made until daylight,
when both life-saving crews went to the res
cue, this time succeeding in reaching the
wreck and rescuing the half dead crew OF
seven men and one woman.

sAPTIsT NATIONAL CONGRESS.
Ex-senator DoolittIe Recommends
Measures to Prevent Land Monop-


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. 15.-The sixth
annual meeting of the Baptist National Con-
Congress began, this afternoon, to discuss
current questions. The foremost men Of the
denomination participated. The first topic
considered was, ''The Organic Union Of
Christendom." Papers by DR.. G. ID. Board
man of Philadelphia, and DIR. r. S. Near
thur of New York, were read,while address
es were made by Dr. G. G. Larimer Of Chi
cago, and Justus Bllkley of Alton, Ill.
In the evening "The Land Question" was
presented. The first speaker was Hon. AL
len collars, Chief Justice Of the Indiana Su-
preme Court, followed by ex-senator James
r. Doolittle, of Chicago, who said that no
revolutionary methods should be proposed,
but that the future growth OF the land mo-
nOpoly should be prevented by law. In the
Territories Congress had power to do this
in the States, amendments to the constitu-
tions were necessary. Such amendments
should provide that once in every twenty
years, or for every new generation, the legis-
lature should limit the amount of agricultur-
al land, and the amount Of land in villages
and cities which any one person could there
after take or acquire in any manner, this
amount to be determined by each State for
ITSELF The speaker also favored an amend
ment which, besides exempting hOmesteads
from forced sale for debt, should within GER
tain limits, exempt homesteads and necessa-
ry furniture from taxation. The State con-
stitutions should grant every householder
and head of family, who lives with and
supports his family in a separate homestead,
for such time as the legislature shall provide
in addition to the vote to which he is now
entitled, an additional vote to represent his
family. Nothing" said the speaker, 'can
be more certain than that the man who taxes
and rearing a family, has a double RESPONSE
bility compared with the single, unmarried
man, and should have a double vote"
Profit Sharing" was discussed by Prof.
Mencrief Of Franklin College. and John ID.
Smith of Minneapolis.
The Congress continues until Friday.

A. d. Story, the only vessel from this port
engaged in the Labrador herring fishery, ar
rived today with cargo of Geo barrels split
herring, five barrels salmon and 5000 pounds
fetched halibut. Captain Ryan said he
called at several harbors on the Labrador
coast and was informed by the inhabitants
that Goldfish had been very scarce this sea-
son, and at many places no herring had been
caught. At Round Hill Island, French ISL
and Harbor and Flowers Cove the herring
catch ha been good. At the latter place
and Man Had he shipped four thous and bar
rels to Montreal. The British war ship
Bullfrog was stationed there to protect the
French fishermen, who have treaty priv
ilegeS on that coast, against Canadians and
Newfoundlanders. In harbOrs where the
French have control, English vessels were
driven out by man-of-war, but Americans
were allowed to remain. Captain Ryan says
that the people on that coast were fairly well
off, and the destitution reported as prevail
ing, as far as he had seen, was untrue At
Flowers HarbOr and French Island Harbor
there were flour and other provisions enough
to last from one to two years. A large num-
Der of vessels were trading on the coast
the people were supplied with provisions
and clr ing. Stop was made at several har-
bors ne west coast of Newfoundland, but
did not near anything about Americans be-
lLg prohibited from buying bait, as reported
here. This is the first cargo of genuine Lab
rador herring to arrive at this port for a
number of years.

Il do not consider 1t wise to do so in the
